The Dirac method treatment for finite dimensional singular systems with weakly vanishing Hamiltonian leads to obtain the equations of motion in terms of parameter $\tau$. To obtain the correct equations of motion one should use gauge fixing of the form $\tau - f(t)=0$. It is shown that the canonical method leads to describe the evolution in both standard and constrained finite dimensional systems with weakly vanishing Hamiltonian in terms of the physical time $t$, without using any gauge fixing conditions. Besides the operator quantization of the these systems is investigated using the canonical method and it is shown that the evolution of the state $\Psi$ with the time $t$ is described by the Schr/"odinger equation $i\frac{\partial \Psi}{\Partial t} = {\hat H}\Psi$. The extension of this treatment to infinite dimensional systems is given.
